Can't Explain It, Just Watch Him

He finally did it! Ken Jennings has won 1 million dollars on "Jeopardy!"

He knows everything, I mean, EVERYTHING. And he is FAST. He can give an answer even before I understand the question. And the most mysterious moments are when he isn't sure about his answer and you watch him hesitating, shaking his head and producing an answer at the last second with an ascending tone, and you say to yourself:"oh, he is going to be wrong." And guess what? He is always right at these moments! It's like magic!

Once there was this category about the wines and other spirits. He almost got them all. The host looked at him curiously and said:"Ken, you are from Salt Lake City. You are a Mormon. Yet you have extensive knowledge about spirits. We better talk about this over the commerical break."

I suspect he has plugged himself into the internet.

If anyone still has any doubt about the maxim:"Knowledge is wealth", well, just watch him.
